Her request, the Dora The Explorer theme song. The sad part is that I was actually able to sing the whole song for her from memory. The things that parenthood does to us (I could say the same thimg had she requested the Sponge Bob theme song). Anyway, I'm right there with you having a 18 month old boy and a 3 year old girl.

However ours thinks up many ways to get out of going to bed. Mostly through trauma she goes through sometimes. We've found that the <a href="http://backyardigans.littletoons.com/" title="Backyardigans theme song">Backyardigans</a> and others are not the most ideal to settle down rambunctiousness and may stir things up upon bedtime. This site has the Backyardigans products & songs, but I think they also have <a href="http://caillou.littletoons.com/" title="Caillou theme song">Caillou</a> with his "Goodnight Grandma and Grandpa ... Goodnight Teddy too..." so this is a little bit more toned down for bed time. It’s cute that she has her own routine, but most do. However ours thinks up many ways to get out of going to bed.

The three year old will often read her Mom a bedtime story when she has come off a third shift at the hospital. Kim – I know just what you mean.
